Abstract :Long chain dicationic ammonium salts insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1a-1c);, easily prepared from tert-amines and dihaloalkanes, were successfully used as efficient phase-transfer catalysts in the Michael addition reaction of various active methylene compounds to 2-cyclohexenone without solvent under ultrasonic irradiation. The investigated dicationic salts were more effective than monocationic tetrabutylammonium bromide, with short reaction times and high yields. This methodology was established under phase-transfer catalytic conditions and ultrasonic effects with many advantages, including the easy and cost-effective synthesis of the catalyst, mild reaction conditions, short reaction times, good yields, simple work-up procedures, and environmental friendliness.
